Lukas Gage Responded To Backlash Over Playing Queer Characters: "You Don't Know My Alphabet"
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
On Thursday, one person called out actor Lukas Gage — who has not publicly stated his sexuality — for playing queer characters.
"If Hollywood can stop hiring non LGBTQIA+ actors like Lukas Gage to play LGBTQIA+ characters, that would be great. He has played four so far. One was enough," the tweet read.
If Hollywood can stop hiring non LGBTQIA+ actors like @lukasgage to play LGBTQIA+ characters, that would be great. He has played 4 so far. 1 was enough.
The actor has, in fact, played multiple queer characters on TV shows including Love, Victor and The White Lotus.
If you recall, Lukas' ass-eating scene in The White Lotus went viral. “I thought we should normalize rimming,” Lukas told Andy Cohen. "I think ass-eating needs to be talked about more."
Well, Lukas must've seen the tweet because he responded directly, saying, "You don't know my alphabet."
@JamesWuske u dont know my alphabet
The person then responded, saying, "Then please, enlighten the whole world."
@lukasgage Then please, enlighten the whole world
Lukas promptly responded, "No ❤️."
@JamesWuske no❤️
Two things: One, No one should be forced to reveal their sexuality, and two, queer people deserve to play queer roles.
I think that's something we all can agree on. Thank you, and HAPPY PRIDE!
